So my nephew has accepted a client who wanted a 5-10 pages website with some basic e-com functionality.
Stupidity of him to accept something that’s way above his head and charging the client the same base fee that he charges for a simple 5-page website with NextJS and simple backend.
I built him the site using WP but he and client find it too complicated to navigate the backend.
As most of you know about my *ahem* love for page builders, I just wanna dumb down the pages to edit if client wants to change the price or their services.
I don’t wanna use Classic Editor because entire site is built using Glutenberg and something might clash.
Any ideas?

That’s custom post and acf perfect for this
I’m not a professional, but I’ve been poking around and can’t really find a solution. Maybe show them an introdution video on how to use Gutenberg for content editing?
A few plugins (or variations of them) that I use on most client sites where I build out the site and the clients manage content are 1) a plugin to lock specific pages, 2) something to hide and/or block access to admin functions, and 3) something to declutter the block library.
1. Can’t pull it up right now but the one I’ve been using can either lock or add a warning to pages you specify. That way when an editor comes across the home page or similar that they shouldn’t be modifying directly, they either can’t open the editor or are presented with a warning along the lines of “this page and it’s layout should not be modified – go here (link to correct location)”
2. I sub to WPMU DEV so I use Branda to hide some of the WP settings and theme extensions… essentially de-bloating the admin of popups, promos, and unnecessary CTAs. This works well with User Role Editor… I make a custom role “Editor+” that has more power than the editor role, but not everything an admin has
3. Also use Getwid blocks on most sites, and this plugin also provides a nice way to hide blocks from the library. Most of my clients don’t need the 100+ blocks available and get overwhelmed. Watering it down to a few vanilla blocks and some pre-defined patterns has worked well for me
